Playtest update 0.2.4

On Steam

Version 0.2.4 is now live in the Playtest. Steam updates the game automatically; the version number is in the corner of the main menu.

New
- Veterans are now chosen from tiles, never from a scrolling list. The end screen shows all your veterans at once; pick a tile to seat a veteran at the Forefathers' Table.
- After a fight, at most two promotion cards are shown at a time. When you answer one, the next takes its place, and a line tells you how many are still waiting.
- At the Forefathers' Table, veterans waiting for a seat are shown as tiles grouped by match. When many matches are waiting, the older ones fold into a single "+N" tile that opens that match.
- When your invited ancestor arrives in round 15, the moment now lasts 4 seconds (2 at 2x speed): the board dims, a beam of light comes down on the ancestor and a choir sings.
- The end screen and the Table now explain what seating a veteran means: it returns in your later matches as an ancestor, on Forefathers' Eve in round 15. Ancestors never come to the Daily Tournament.
- Your games, tab Your ghosts in Nawia: your best ghost now stands on a pedestal with its board, the rest are shown as tiles.

More in tooltips
- Gold: your interest after the fight and how much more gold you need for the next interest step.
- Buy XP: how many purchases you need for the next level.
- Shop cards: the chance that creature shows up in your next reroll.
- The board counter glows gold when you have a free slot and a creature waiting on the bench.

Changed
- Your very first match is played against the game's own rivals only, without other players' ghosts.
- On Easy, you only meet ghosts of players who played on Easy or Normal.
- Dragging a shop card with the gold ribbon (it completes a set of three) onto an empty cell now places the merged creature on that cell.
- The game's .exe file is now the same in every update. Windows and antivirus programs judge an unsigned program by its file, so start-up warnings should become rarer over time.

Fixed
- With many veterans, part of the list on the end screen, at the Table or in the promotion window was hidden below the edge and easy to miss.

Thank you for playing and for every report. Survey and Report a bug are on the end screen.
